_LWP_MAKECONTEXT(3) BSD Library Functions Manual _LWP_MAKECONTEXT(3)NAME
_lwp_makecontext -- create a new initial light-weight process execution context
LIBRARY
Standard C Library (libc, -lc)
SYNOPSIS
#include <lwp.h>
void
_lwp_makecontext(ucontext_t *context, void (*start_routine)(void *), void *arg,
void *private, caddr_t stack_base, size_t stack_size);
DESCRIPTION
_lwp_makecontext() initializes the context structure pointed to by context in a manner suit-
able for using with _lwp_create(2). The LWP will begin execution at the function specified
by start_routine which will be passed a single argument arg. The LWP private data pointer
will be set to private. The stack region for the new LWP is specified by the stack_base and
stack_size arguments.
The signal mask in the context structure is not initialized by _lwp_makecontext().
SEE ALSO_lwp_create(2), _lwp_getprivate(2)HISTORY
The _lwp_create() system call first appeared in NetBSD 2.0.
BUGS
The LWP private data pointer is not initialized by the current implementation of
_lwp_makecontext().
